BRITNEY Spears is telling trolls to back off.
After the 38-year-old pop star smiled and twirled through a video showing off her ceiling-high Christmas tree, she said there’s no reason for her followers to cyber-bully her.
Britney wrote: “Happy holidays friends! I love sharing with you all … but it’s been hard to keep wanting to share because people say the meanest things!
“If you don’t like a post … just keep it to yourself and unfollow that person! There’s no reason to ever go out of your way to make mean comments and bully people. Stay happy and nice this holiday season y’all and God Bless!”
Britney’s long-time boyfriend, Sam Asghari, 25, showed his support, commenting: “It’s so easy to cyber attack and hide behind their phones and write mean comments, but when they run into you in real life all of the sudden they act like they have been such a huge fan and want a picture 
#haterplease”
And Britney’s 28-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, added: “
”
The star’s post begging her fans to be kind follows cruel comments on her page.
In response to a December 7 video of Britney showing off her home, one troll wrote: “Home girl has lost her marbles.”
Another commented: “Something is not right with her!”
Slammed a third: “She’s weird.”
These nasty comments top off a tough time for Britney.
In September, the singer’s ex-husband Kevin Federline, 41, gained 70 percent custody of their two sons: Sean Preston, 14, and Jayden James, 13.
Britney was left with only 30 percent unsupervised custodial rights.
They previously had a 50/50 custody agreement following their 2007 divorce.
A source told Us Weekly that Britney will have her boys on Christmas Eve, and then the kids will go to their father’s home on Christmas Day.
An insider added that Britney wants to return to court in the new year to “petition the judge for increased custody time with the boys.”
Britney has also been through a difficult ordeal with her father and estate conservator, Jamie.
In August, Jamie allegedly got into an altercation with his daughter’s son Sean Preston.
Kevin filed an emergency restraining order against the 67-year-old conservator.
Police later determined Britney’s dad would not be charged with child abuse.

A January 22 hearing is set to review Jamie’s conservator status, where “findings of the probate investigator report will be discussed,” according to a source.
After the incident with Sean Preston, Jamie filed papers to temporarily resign his role as her personal conservator.
Care manager Jodi Montgomery is filling in as Britney’s conservator until the January hearing.
